Never mind then..must be locker room talk 😂… I thought it was about the Trump Joke playing out inside courtroom Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity. Former President Trump's legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive's broad immunity to criminal prosecution https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4398223-trump-team-argues-assassination-of-rivals-is-covered-by-presidential-immunity/amp/

Stephen Richer should have been safe. In early 2021, Richer was an Arizona Republican official who regularly attended local party events… But at one event, the crowd heckled and harassed him. When he tried to leave, they dragged him back in, yanking on his arms and shoulders, to berate him about the allegedly stolen 2020 election. He started to worry: Would his own people, fellow Republican Party he members, seriously hurt him? There was a clear reason for the madness. Many of the Republican faithful had recently decided that Maricopa County had been the epicenter of “the steal,” Joe Biden’s theft of Arizona from Donald Trump — and the entire presidential election with it. This wasn’t true, obviously. Richer tried to tell them it wasn’t true, hoping his long track record in the state Republican party would give him some credibility. It did not. What happened instead reveals a pattern that is quietly reshaping American politics: Across the board and around the country, data reveals that threats against public officials have risen to unprecedented numbers — to the point where 83 percent of Americans are now concerned about risks of political violence in their country. The threats are coming from across the political spectrum, but the most important ones in this regard emanate from the MAGA faithful. Trump’s most fanatical followers have created a situation where challenging him carries not only political risks but also personal ones. Elected officials who dare defy the former president face serious threats to their well-being and to that of their families — raising the cost of taking an already difficult stand. … By 2022, when Richer was presiding over the November election’s ballot tally, his office was fortified like a military base: surrounded by armed police deployed to protect him and his staff from threats. He recalls numerous staff members quitting on the spot after heated confrontations — and he was personally targeted by credible threats. When we spoke, he was about to testify in one of three federal cases against people who had vowed to kill him. “You need to do your fxx job right because other people from other states are watching your axx,” the man allegedly said in a voicemail. “You fxx renege on this deal or give them any more troubles, your ### will never make it to your next little board meeting.” It’s In 2016, the Capitol Police recorded fewer than 900 threats against members of Congress. In 2017, that figure more than quadrupled, per data provided by the Capitol Police. The numbers continued to increase in every year of the Trump presidency, peaking at 9,700 in 2021. In 2022, the first full year of Biden’s term, the numbers went down to a still-high 7,500. The 2023 data has not yet been released, but a spike in threats against legislators during the House Republican speaker fight and Israel-Hamas conflictsuggests an increase over the 2022 numbers is plausible. Members of Congress are taking these threats seriously. In September, three journalists at the Washington Post reviewed FEC filings to assess how much candidates for the House and Senate were spending on security. They found an overall increase of 500 percent between 2020 and 2022 . https://www.vox.com/23899688/2024-election-republican-primary-death-threats-trump How death threats get Republicans to fall in line behind Trump The insidious way violence is changing American politics — and shaping the 2024 election.

Hear the exchange inside the courtroom…bonkers

Don’t look at the tree..focus on the forest. 😂 I will assume here that your ex spun a tale of fraud ..way more colorful than the “ not my signature “ bit /morsel that USCIS disclosed to you. This is always the case with Vengeful Spouses. .. But ..even if Mickey Mouse signed the I-751 ..and she painted you as you as ..you are rock solid with bonafides at inception /and during of marriage …and will prevail .

One still has to prevail on the I-751 from first marriage…and that will be way easier in court , than you have experienced w USCIS. https://www.cliniclegal.org/resources/family-based-immigration-law/new-bia-decision-addresses-scope-ina-ss-204c But the Pak decision is an alert that marriage fraud concerns remain in the picture even if it was not the stated basis of a prior petition’s denial The funny thing is that they won’t “ tell “ you that you picked up a 204 (c) bar until you try to get a new I-130 /new spouse through https://www.cliniclegal.org/resources/family-based-immigration-law/spousal-petitions/practice-advisory-sham-marriages-and The Board of Immigration Appeals, or BIA, held that a conditional permanent resident cannot use an INA § 237(a)(1)(H) waiver to prevent deportation where the person’s termination of a conditional residency was based on failure to file a joint petition. Similarly, a 237(a)(1)(H) waiver cannot be used in lieu of, or together with, a “good faith” waiver under section 216(c)(4)(B) to waive the requirement to file a joint petition to remove the conditions on residence. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1186a&num=0&edition=prelim D) Hearing in removal proceeding Any alien whose permanent resident status is terminated under subparagraph (C) may request a review of such determination in a proceeding to remove the alien. In such proceeding, the burden of proof shall be on the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the facts and information described in subsection (d)(1) and alleged in the petition are not true with respect to the qualifying marriage.

Covering all bases 😂.. Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution. The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4398223-trump-team-argues-assassination-of-rivals-is-covered-by-presidential-immunity/amp/

Well said. if I may add this battle hymn..hoping you tap into your inner Genghis Khan For the words For the visual Also remember, giving up means a permanent black mark of fraud on your record and ban from US as visitor or resident . Apologies if this is a duplicate post..

If you are completing a paper form , you can write in UNK If you are doing online then input something like 01/01/1111 and add a notation such as page x, pârț t, item Z date Unkn

No matter what form you are filling out ( ex I-130 or N-400) you can answer those questions as UNK ( unknown ) and will have NO PROBLEM at all Just submit a copy of her current US passport. No need to delay or wait for a FOIA

I am sure she will give great input , as always. She did not chime in when Verrou/Misscloud was looking for removal attorneys in that area …so I guessed , it was not her cup of tea. But I was under the impression she was not in private practice , rather worked for some NGO .

I will repeat this point , in case I missed something first time around: DO NOT refile w USCIS. Go to court and have the IJ look over YOUR bonafides , actually hear testimony from the witnesses you reference AND even look up a handwriting expert to analyze and or testify to the signature . You have already done ALL the hard work …in amassing your marital evidence ..IT IS A GRAND thing to know an Immigration Judge will look at everything with fresh eyes. t Ir may take a while to get your merits hearing ( trial date ) but if you choose , life can go on as you see fit . Am soo glad everyone here is SO AMAZINGLY Fantastic. love reading all the comments

Do NOT refile w USCIS. Once they made a fraud finding on the initial joint , they will deny ANY subsequent waiver of joint filing. It is a matter of credibility..and 30 lbs did not sway the discretion ..so go to court and win on standards . Wait for NTA ..it’s coming . They may skewer w you and delay filing it w EOIR but you will get there. Consult attorneys w removal defense expertise ( A MUST) and ask outright if they have worked w fraud findins and are also experienced w BIA appeals in case it will be required to appeal IJ decision . Prepare for consult w attorneys by gathering 1. Copy of the 3 denials 2. Copy of your above post to me 😂 It’s short , to the point and avoids the $$$ money needed just to look over at your file . 3. Allow the attorney to ask questions ..and reign in impulse to tell your story or turn over your box . 4. Ask the attorney who has burden of proof in a contested hearing and what standard of proof required . 5. Let go , if you can . Trust the hired guns ..it will be ok Here’s a random attorney site, they talk the talk …so do a consult https://www.lawfirm4immigrants.com/204c-prior-marriage-fraud-bar/#:~:text=The USCIS field office reconsiders,authority to review such decisions. Meanwhile, 204(c) doesn’t necessarily apply in every case of a denied benefit request due to insufficient substantial and probative evidence in establishing the bona fide marriage. For the rule to hold, the adjudicating officer or DA has to establish that the individual entered the marriage fraudulently or that the previous marriage has ended lawfully. Therefore, in the case of insufficient evidence to prove the legitimacy of a marriage, section 204 c does not attach. It only holds when it’s been proven beyond reasonable doubt that the individual is guilty of the marriage fraud allegations.

I am a bit slow here😂…for a moment I thought Poor T-Bone and the Biblical Ref post . .. I wonder if saying USCIS can Go Forth And Multiply ..works

Just for clarity to thread . ..OP will not refile another I-751 w USCIS. He will be ref to immigration court and IJ will review . As a theoretical , if IJ denies , then BIA appeal ..if BIA denies , then PFR petition for review in circuit court ( not immigration court).

Ah .. time for a cup of tea, a medicinal jug of gin and as another suggested , a two week postponing of immigration thoughts or life altering decisions. I hope you look at the decade old fight w USCIS as a win for you …honestly you messed with them IN STYLE 😂. I still chuckle at the Thousands of Pages of motions and submissions you piled them with . I have heard you often enough , on this forum, advocating for the scared /distraught posters caught up in the I-751 w divorce hell : It’s Not Over Til The Fat Lady Sings ( opera ref ) …or the IJ rules ..heck but even then there is BIA appeal of IJ decision AND even the PFR / Petition for Review. Would you really tell a tired soul to just give up ?..I think not. ..especially since I Know YOU will WIN. This denial is a blessing in disguise ..as the fight became a personal crusade for you and bloody hell it did drain and tire you a bit..so DENIAL is a good thing and a positive GAME CHANGER! In your favor😂 W EOIR , the govt has the burden to prove fraud/misrep beyond a reasonable doubt ..so even if USCIS denial claimed sham/fraud …they won’t make their case. If denial is purely for failure to meet bonafides…you got that covered . So . Cheer Up , refresh , regroup and do take some time to decide before you throw in the towel !

The new passport number is listed under “ passport “ and expired passport ( w F-1 visa and or entry stamp ) ..unless you traveled on new passport for most recent entry . Not a big deal , no matter why you put , just send in copies of both

If simplicity /hassle free is your goal , then leaving as is under 3 year is recommended . They rarely ( if ever) ask to see any joint life docs at interview..and as you have already uploaded , they will remain part of the file anyway . The “switch “ from 5 to 3 , for example is worth if you want to force them to exclude a 4 year old criminal conviction and limit the GMC timeline. Or 3 to 5 if a divorce sneaks up on you while app is pending . Again, no advantage in your case . But if you insist , then Wi rite up a request to amend application, cite page, part and item no , add the updated page of N-400 ) make sure same revision date)…upload it and send copies by mail as Supplemental Filing ..then be ready to answer a couple of curiosity questions at interview as to Why you made request ..

I estimate you are very close to 5 years since LPR date ..so it’s time to file N-400 when you hit that mark . My math says 2019 plus 5 = This year 😂

Worth noting that Trumpy threatened judges and picked up Restraining orders . The devoted magas stand ready to Pounce by Proxy …While others delight in the mayhem. Brings to mind the jovial/ good cheer when Pelosi husband got attacked

Attacking the Judge ..hmm..maybe too Trumpy

I left my first marriage after falling in love with a fellow who believed OJ was innocent 😂 ..he and our offspring that we called POTUS ( brilliant nose bleed IQ) are both Trumpers too. Politics wee never the problem ..my beloved kept falling into non matrimonial beds 😂
